“WELL DONE, IS BETTER THAN WELL SAID!”
Mike Lane
Mike Lane is a patient, author, and dedicated advocate whose personal journey with Amyloidosis led him to self-educate and uncover a critical disparity: while the African American community faces the highest rates of Amyloidosis, it also experiences the lowest rates of diagnosis and the highest mortality rates.
Driven by this urgent gap, Mike founded the Amyloidosis Army—a movement focused on delivering more: more outreach, more understanding, more action, and more support for underserved communities.
As a two-time published author on Amyloidosis awareness and the patient experience, Mike’s advocacy has earned him key roles on national platforms, including the Amyloidosis Research Consortium Patient Advisory Committee, the Rare Disease Legislative Advocates Advisory Committee, and as Lead Patient Senator for Kansas with Patients Rising.
